Dear Reader
"The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page."
That is a quote from Saint Augustine. He must be the patron saint of Saba. Because the island is a sight for sore eyes. But you can only truly enjoy Saba's natural beauty and wonder if you choose to travel there and the options to get there have improved by a factor of 3+2+1.
When I contacted the Saba Tourism Director for a statement to add to the
article, he had this to say:
"
Hi Terrance. It looks good. Great coverage for Saba and the ferries, especially the new airline. The information you provided is up-to-date and factual and I don't think there is anything new to add. Perhaps you can end by stating that: 'If you've always wanted to visit Saba or would like to visit for the first time, the opportunity and the fare has never been better. We're ready and waiting for your visit. More information about our fairytale island can be found on our website at
www.sabatourism.com
.' -
Glenn Holm, Director Saba Tourist Bureau
Mr. Holm is right, ofcourse. The fare has never been better. For only $40 roundtrip, you can visit Saba with the new ferry services starting September 10th. For more information about why, read the full feature article
here.
Best regards,
Terrance Rey
